Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention enable threshold voltage distribution of a plurality of electrode layers to be improved by configuring each of the plurality of electrode layer maintains to have different physical structures or materials, etc., thereby enhancing credibility during a process of maintaining stores data and a reading process.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]Embodiments of the present invention relate to a three dimensional flash memory using electrode layers and / or interlayer insulation layers having different properties, and a preparation method thereof, and more particularly, relate to a three dimensional flash memory with an improved threshold voltage distribution of a plurality of electrode layers and a uniform stress level of a plurality of interlayer insulation layers by differentiating the plurality of electrode layers or the plurality of interlayer insulation layers in properties, and a preparation method thereof.BACKGROUND ART[0002]Flash memory devices are Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM). Flash memories may be widely employed, for example, in computers, digital cameras, MP3 players, game systems, memory sticks, and so on. The flash memory devices electrically control data to be input or output in the mechanism of Fowler-Nordheim (FN) tunneling effect or hot electron injection.[...
